OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib
This is a repository for OpenTelemetry Collector contributions that are not part of the
core repository and
core distribution of the Collector. Typically, these contributions are vendor
specific receivers/exporters and/or components that are only
useful to a relatively small number of users.
Please note that this repository and its releases are a superset of the core repository.
Creating your own OpenTelemetry Collector distribution
A guide on how to create your own distribution is available in this blog post:
"Building your own OpenTelemetry Collector distribution"
If you are building your own distribution, the OpenTelemetry Collector
Builder
might be a good starting point.

PRs and Reviews
When creating a PR please following the process described
here.
News PRs will be automatically associated with the reviewers based on
CODEOWNERS. PRs will be also automatically assigned to one of the
maintainers or approvers for facilitation.
The facilitator is responsible for helping the PR author and reviewers to make progress
or if progress cannot be made for closing the PR.
If the reviewers do not have approval rights the facilitator is also responsible
for the official approval that is required for the PR to be merged and if the facilitator
is a maintainer they are responsible for merging the PR as well.
The facilitator is not required to perform a thorough review, but they are encouraged to
enforce Collector best practices and consistency across the codebase and component
behavior. The facilitators will typically rely on codeowner's detailed review of the code
when making the final approval decision.
We recommend maintainers and approvers to keep an eye on the
project board. All newly created
PRs are automatically added to this board. (If you don't see the PR on the board you
may need to add it manually by setting the Project field in the PR view).
